I've offered Bookmark+ several times to Emacs.
And I've mentioned specific features even more
times.  They could be included or used as food

Bookmark+ could replace vanilla bookmark.el

My point to you here was that instead of advising
the default handler you can define your own handler.
That's why we have handlers, and why the default
handler is, well, the default (handler).
